Ongoing Impact: A History and Overview of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
This session will provide an overview of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). It will include the history of ESEA, looking back on the 60th anniversary of the Act’s passage in 1965. This will be a comprehensive overview, covering all the Titles and how they work together. It will feature the intent and purposes behind the law and explain some of the key “whys” for essential elements, such as Supplement, not Supplant, Maintenance of Effort, and Private School Equitable Participation. This history will also demonstrate how the original ESEA provided support for students with disabilities and led to the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). The session will focus on how ESEA is being implemented today, with an emphasis on funding, accountability, and school improvement. It will serve as an introduction for those new to the ESEA and provide insight to those more familiar with the ESEA and help them to more effectively administer the law.
This talk was presented at:
